Skiena’s Algorithm design manual is very widely recommended for learning algorithms, I’ve also heard good things about A common sense guide to algorithms and data structures. Skiena’s also has video lectures on YouTube if you prefer videos.

From what I’ve seen, a common sense guide seems to be more geared towards newer programmers while Skiena assumes more experience. Consequently, Skiena goes into more depth while A common sense guide seems to be more focused on what you specifically asked for. algorithm design manual

A common sense guide

I love how by default most tables were wooden and the balls were mostly about baseball size

There’s a Wattpad Novel, “Running with Scissor”, where the mc’s body and soul are separated by some sort of spell and he has to recover his body before midnight or the spell becomes permanent. It’s pretty good absurdist humour reminescent of The Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.

I’m currently slogging through the Illuminatas trilogy, things finally feel like they’re starting to make sense. Let’s hope it stays like that

Reading the manga she likes homos not me. It’s about this gay highschool student who wants to live a “normal” life so he hides his sexuality from his family and friends. The manga was absolutely heartbreaking and it was my first encounter with the shit people go through for being different and it made me realize that gay people are just people too, which should be obvious but I’m from a country where homophobia is normalized and even encouraged. I started thinking more after that and I guess that’s when it clicked to me really that everybody deserves love.

I liked the OCaml website
